Watch live sports TV online : Argentina v England Match
England kicked off their Rugby World Cup campaign with a battling 13-9 victory over Argentina at the Otago Stadium in Dunedin.
A second half try from replacement scrum-half Ben Youngs proved the crucial score in a bruising contest with the Pumas left to rue an incredible six missed penalties and a wayward drop goal. England fly-half Jonny Wilkinson also suffered a rare off-day with the boot - missing five penalties - but was crucially on target with two and a conversion to steer his side to a priceless victory.
A dominant Pumas pack had dictated the terms of the contest in the opening period but a penalty apiece for fly-half Felipe Contepomi and fullback Martin Rodriguez were their only reward with the latter adding just one more after the break as England muscled their way back into the game.
